Madame butterfly have me wings.
by Nightfaze on 2014-04-29National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaThe arias were stunning. The kind of music that reaches inside your soul. Madame butterfly at the NAC in ottawa was beautiful. Opera Lyra did a beautiful production and succeeded in delivering a rich opera full of abandonment, betrayal and tragedy. The simple yet stunning use of blue and red lights enriched the arias and performance of the cast. My favorite scene is when ciao-ciao San is waiting for her beloved captain. There are petals of flowers that fall in the blue lighting if the moon as she finished her aria. It was grandiose. I am glad I experienced on stage one of my favorite operas.
